ESSEN TAILS.


The educational demand of the last
decade has been largely for an increase
in the number of branches taught, and
an elimination of nOn-essentials from
those regarded as fundamental. The
study of arithmetic, geography, and
gr&nmar has been so encountered with
details, non-esSential if not absurd,
that time has been wasted, and in many
cases error has been taught. A grave
fault in the teaching of English gram
mar is the use of definitions and rules
copied from Latin grammars, but hav-
ing little or no application to the Eng
lish language. When pupil is re-
CURED from day to day to repeat mean
ingless or absurd terms, language
ceases to be an element of true educa-
ton.
English grammar is studied that the
pupil may learn how to speak and
write the English language correctly,
and all definitions and rules should be
framed with that end in view. In q
composite language almost destitute
Of infections, few rules are applicable
or helpful
The rule that "A verb must agree
with its subject, etc, has such Il def
mite meaning in the Latin that the sub
ject does rot appear, being known by
the form, 4. e. agreement, Of the verb.
The ordinary English verb shows
such agreement only tlUice to the th52-
ty-Sir agreements of the corresponding
Latin verb. Is the agreement a rule
OF an exception? Is it an assistance in
learning how to speak and write cor
rectly?
Again, nouns and pronouns have
certain forms or variations to show
their meaning or relations. These
forms should receive most careful
study. The distinctive characteristics
of proper nouns, the plural number,
the possessive case, and the gender of
nouns that denote seq, must secure
special attention.
To the personal pronoun belongs the
distinctive property OF person, IS
change of form to indicate the speaker,
the person spoken to, and the person
or thing spoken of.
This part of speech is the typical
subject of the verb in all conjugations;
yet there is recognition of ''agree-
ment of the verb" in but few cases.
Says Reed and Kellogg, "Person Is a
matter of little importance in gram
mar" If this is true as regards the
personal pronoun, what significance
has such a property when applied to
the noun whose form never changes tC
indicate person? In that excellent
book, Courses of Study and Methods
Of Teaching, by John [. Prince, per
son is not recognized as a property OF
nouns. Gender is distinction of sex
and as nouns have special forms OF
variations only to denote male and fe
male, the terms 31e1aer and common
gender are absurd or non-essential.
1t is high time that English gram
mars be made to teach the Englisl
language as it is. We rejoice to re
cognize progress, in the reduction o
the quantity of matter in textbooks an'
in the evidence that the false and tn
useless are gradually Disappearing

NightingaI in Russia.

That man must be very sleepy who
would complain of being kept awake
by nightingales- These birds inhabit
the thickets around my hotel. About
II o'clock the first night of our arrival
one of them awoke me from Il sound
sleep. A window stood aiar and music
flooded the chamber. The singer was
a soloist. Not a sound of any kind in
terrupted his performance. Even the
crickets stopped to listen. Somebody
has taken tbetrouble to jot down every
note and triu of the nightingale2s song.
1t may be reproduced, [ believe, on
the upper octaves of the piano; but it
can never be made to sound as rayish-
inc as the ''wood-notes wild" of that
bird in those bushes Perhaps imagi-
nation has something to do with the
effect. Memory quickly recalls fugi-
tive scraps of poetry about nightin-
gales, and one listens to them the more
greedilv. Suddenly the music, which
was so enchanting, woke echoes far
and near Other nightingales, as il
accepting a challenge, responded to
the soloist 1t was too much of good
thing. The sweet sounds ran together
and became confused. What had been
perfect as an air was discord as cher
US. In the midst of il the chief singer
ceased A few minutes later and al
was quiet.-R0a7ad A60ut to A0ScOlO.

GRAPHIC HISTORY.

The prompt and rapid drawing OF
historic maps, especially of battles and
campaigns, is one of the successful IN
novations of the modern methods.
This work adds materially to the pu-
pills appreciation of the relation OF
forces, the progress of events, the
achievements of armies.
We have never seen anything that
tends to promote patriotism more than

-, Work IN large school, in
IA section of Chicago that is almost sol
idly foreign in its population. We
brought home with us some of their
exercises, taking one paper each from
several pupils, making a collection of
the decisive battles of the late war.
The elegance of these papers is such as
would reflect credit upon profession
al artist. The paper work rs merely
the elimination of previous blackboard
work. Every pupil steps to the board,
and while one describes all draw rap
idly.
First, they draw map of the entire
battle arena for the campaign, then a
map Of each division of the battlefield,
then of each battle with the charges of
the forces as the battle progresses
They represent the camp by means of
tents, marches by arrows, battles by
snort parallel lines, naval engagements
by ships. After map has been drawn
the pupils are seated, one only remain
ing at the board to be questioned by
the others. If question is asked that
does not seem fair or that he consid-
ers trifiing in its character, he declines
to consider it; if, however, the ques-
toner thinks differently an appeal IS
made to the class, who decide upon its
ACCESSIBILITY. When he fails to sustain
himself he is seated and the pupil who
has asked the final question takes his
place, and the questioning continues.
When specially good point is made
there is evident sign of approval on
the part of the class. The interest, the
enthusiasm, the vigor of thought,
proved the success of the method. A
short biographical sketch indicates the
pupils appreciation of the commanders
in each campaign. Each child learns
poem in connection with every great
battle.
The lad of fourteen years, who does
this work well, knows more of the war
that closed seven years before his birth
than his father who fought the battles.
